Religion in Prisons

You may find this of interest, kitty.

Statistics would probably vary a lot by area. I was a Student Director for Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners for the Minnesota Correctional Facility- Stillwater. That's the largest medium security prison in MN. There were not that many Muslims that I remember back in 1987-1989 but there probably are quite a number there now due to the very large influx of immigrants from Central Africa to the Twin Cities. Many of these are from Somalia. ISIS is getting the largest number if US recruits from that community I believe. Fears grow that more MN Somali youth have gone to ISIS | Minnesota Public Radio News
